About Us
Design doesn't have to be slow, rigid or siloed.
We created Component to break the traditional agency mold. Our approach is lean and adaptive, always guided by user needs and business goals. We treat design as a collaborative journey rather than a handover.
SMALL, SENIOR TEAMS
We keep teams lean and experienced, so every decision is sharp and every move counts.
AGILE, FAST EXECUTION
Our process offers faster turnaround and frequent feedback loops without the drag of heavy workflows.
COLLABORATION & TRANSPARENCY
We work openly with clients, keeping every step visible, every decision shared, and every outcome aligned
Who We Are
Meet the Design Lead.
Component is led by Jako van Deventer. What started as a solo practice has evolved into a design partner model that brings together the right people for the right projects. Jako oversees all creative output to ensure a seamless process and high-quality results. We collaborate with a trusted network of senior freelancers across data, development and design to shape lean teams tailored to your specific needs.
